VH1’s ‘The Breaks’ Premieres Monday – Meet The Cast

VH1‘s new scripted series, “The Breaks” picks up where the original film, which aired last year, left off.

The film followed three young friends fulfilling their hip hop dreams in New York City in 1990, while the series continues to explore their triumphs and heartbreak trying to make their mark in a new and complex hip hop culture.

“The Breaks” ranked as the #2 original cable movie of 2016 among adults 18-49. Across all premiere night airings, it tallied 2.6 million total viewers.

Inspired by The Big Payback, a nonfiction history of the hip-hop business written by journalist Dan Charnas, “The Breaks” is executive produced by Seith Mann (“The Wire,” “The Walking Dead,” “Homeland”) and John J. Strauss (“Mozart in the Jungle”).
